Despite recent corruption scandals, President Jacob Zuma of South Africa on Thursday 10th of November, 2016 survived a no-confidence vote.

FACTS:

Allegations of misconduct were raised against Mr President, Jacob Zuma

In Less than one year, this is the third time of no confidence vote

The investigation panel found out that the Guptas business family with links to Mr, President may have influenced the appointment of ministers

All attempts (protests/parliament votes) by the opposition party to remove him from office have failed

The opposition motion was defeated by 214 votes to 126 votes

The ANC (African National Congress), Mr Zuma’s party has a huge majority in parliament

The ANC has been in power since 1994
